This article is the third section of “The hard argument against LLMs being AGI” essay series. In previous section we used the idea of algorithmic fingerprint to demonstrate and explain how Few-Shot Learning LLMs actually work. Then we established that “cognition” of LLMs is a delusion from misunderstanding how Few-Shot…

In previous section we went through some basic ideas of how computer science functions from the perspective of philosophy of science. Then we elaborated on the limits of computational systems and Turing Machines…

This article is the first section of “The hard argument against LLMs being AGI” essay series. When people argue that LLMs are not AGIs, we often get blamed that we are just anthropomorphising AGI in order to exclude any modern LLM or machine learning method from reaching that. As if…

(Later I discovered this was also published, which is highly relevant: https://www.quantamagazine.org/does-time-really-flow-new-clues-come-from-a-century-old-approach-to-math-20200407) If all particles with mass are nodes…

This blog post was a response for Brendan Graham’s Dempsey’s really good article about what is political metamodernism. I think he made one mistake though: The grand narratives are not coming back. What metamodernism does resolve is the problem of Cartesian Grammar! A lot of this post was inspired by…
